Our spring concert theme, Crowded Table, references a song by The Highwomen, a country supergroup composed of Brandi Carlile, Natalie Hemby, Maren Morris, and Amanda Shires. They write: “I want a house with a crowded table, and a place by the fire for everyone.” This will be our second concert in our three-concert series, “Women: Together We Can Change the World.”
We wanted to keep you updated on our recent “comings/goings”. Please know that several members are still in a severe state of recovery, and we are holding them “in the light” as they navigate through.
Additionally, we will be performing around town in a couple of private events during this upcoming week. We will be singing at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Asheville service on Sunday (11/10) all are welcome, and we will be facilitating a “sing-a-long” for residents of the Deerfield Community in Asheville on Monday evening (11/11). We have a tentative performance for members of the VA Asheville Medical Care Hospital on Saturday (11/16).
It brings us great joy to be able share our voices with you! Keep watching for us in the Spring! Details to follow at a later date.
Remember, we can always use your help, and your donations mean more that we can express. If you can, please donate! Thank you!

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the Womansong Fall Concert series scheduled for November 15 & 16 at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation in Asheville is being POSTPONED to the Spring. The devastation from Hurricane Helene impacted many of our chorus members and their families, as well as volunteers and fans across the region. As folks continue to recover from the storm, their time and energy is now focused long-term on rebuilding their lives and homes, and short-term on the daily chores of finding clean water, food and supplies for themselves and their families.
Especially at this time, Womansong recognizes the importance of taking care of ourselves and each other during these critical healing months. Opportunities to truly relax and be at peace will be a challenge until we’re able to achieve some sense of normalcy. However, until that time comes, we are all finding new ways of feeling and expressing joy, kindness, friendship and caring in order to stay strong and mentally healthy. To that end, Womansong is brainstorming ideas to bring our music directly to those in need, and also to friends and to helpers who are working tirelessly to clean up and rebuild our beautiful mountain communities.
As you may imagine, like so many others, we continue to have ongoing expenses (including the loss of revenue from our concerts) and as always, are truly grateful for any tax-deductible donation you would like to make to our organization. The link is provided for ease: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=WZAX7MRRMLWQ6
Stay tuned for announcements of smaller pop-up concerts that will take place in the next few months throughout the area. We look forward to singing for you again
